Excellent book in excellent condition for second hand, in fact better than expected. Mind Maps are great for aiding learning, note taking, Memory Retention and Radiant Thinking. I would buy items from this vendor again.

This is an extraordinary book! Five stars and plus! Tony Buzan even shows you from the start how to make the best your reading, in his Chapter on Note-taking.

The book is progressive yet stimulating. Starting from a simple brainstorming exercise, he shows you how to make this more complete by refining it into an either/or Mind mapping to tackle making choices, extending it to a more complex and more satisfying multiple categories mind mapping.

The beauty of the book lies in its common sense. Exploring this system,you'll find yourself saying 'Aha! This is how I can find how to...!'

I first came across the concept of mind mapping 10 years ago when I was at university. I wasn't doing particularly well, averaging a 2.2, but when I started using mind maps my marks went up to mainly 2.1s and 1st. I'm now studying again with the Open University, and I find that once again mind mapping is a fantastic way of taking note and planning my studies and assignments, as it allows me to get a very clear overview of my subject much more easily than traditional note-taking.

The only drawback to this method is that it is more time-consuming than traditional note-taking, but if you need to memorise large amounts of information, you will find that this is time invested, rather than time lost.

I don't buy all of Tony Buzan's claims about mind mapping, and I find that the writing style can get a little bit grating at times, which is why I am giving this book 4 stars rather than 5. If you are already self-confident, you might find Buzan's style slightly annoying too, but I can understand that he wrote this book with a wide audience in mind, and other people might need constant encouragement.

All in all, an extremely useful book, and one that should find its way onto any student's shelf.

A very good book that will open up your mind and will challenge you to explore your cognitive skills. It explains every step and why it's explanations are relevant. It is not long winded and shows you what you can achieve and it also implants mind mapping in your mind for life.

Mind maps - you may have already come across them, but this book is the most thorough explanation and demonstration of their uses I've read to date. It starts with an explanation of brain function, looking at scientific theory as well as examples of Great Brains in history. Then from a discussion on brainstorming it develops the idea of the Mind Map, and the principles that have proven to produce the most useful kinds of maps. From there it demonstrates the many uses for Mind Maps, from decision making, self-analysis, problem-solving, memory recall and organising ideas (your own and others') to creative thinking, teaching, meetings, presentations, diaries and management.It is thorough, well-written, full of examples and gives you everything you need to fully exploit the amazing tool that is the Mind Map. I've discovered brain power I thought I'd lost years ago, and a new fun in study and simply using my brain.

This book is useful as an introduction to Mind Maps with a clear and highly visual layout. If you prefer diagram or picture information then this book is for you. Buzan has also included plenty of well selected examples to get you thinking creatively. The book has two sections, the first has details on Mind Mapping and simple rules that work. The second section is full of ideas on how to use Mind Maps. I have found Mind Maps to be very powerfull as a thinking tool. My only resevavtion is that Tony tries to sell this as the solution to end all problems. This it is not, however Mind Maps do provide excellent scope to further develope ideas.Well done Tony & Barry.
